5/19- Game 3 Capitals @ Bruins

[cshea]

They say a series doesn't start until the road team wins a game. Well, the Bruins went to Washington and won a game. Series on. The Bruins have been the better team through 2 games. Stay out of the box and roll. Win tonight and take control of the series.

Go B's

* Puck drop is 6:30 for some dumb reason*

 

[IdiotKicker]

Rip their heads off.

* Puck drop is 6:30 for some dumb reason*

"Daddy, why are we eating dinner at 5:30?"

"Because I want to watch the Bruins rip the Capitals' motherfucking heads off."

"Ahh, can I drink Tom Wilson's blood for dessert? Because fuck Tom Wilson!"

"That's-a my girl."

</scene>

 

[The Napkin]

I would really like it if the Boston Bruins won a game of hockey this evening.

 

[McDrew]

I started my workday at 6 AM so I could be out in time for puck drop.

I will be standing.

Fuck Tom Wilson.

 

[tonyandpals]

Already reached out to the other coach that we start our baseball "game" right at 5:15 and GTFO of there by 6:15. He's on board. Now just to decide what to order for food.

 

[cshea]

Looks like no lineup changes.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Hall - Krejci - Smith
Ritchie - Coyle - DeBrusk
Kuraly - Lazar - Wagner

Grzelyck - McAvoy
Reilly - Carlo
Clifton - Miller*

Rask

Miller is not participating in the morning skate, but it is probably maintenance.

 

[cshea]

Laviolette holding his cards close to the vest. Oshie didn't skate this morning. Lars Eller and Kuznetsov did.

 

[IdiotKicker]

Was it Oshie who got lit up by McAvoy late ini the game?

 

[Zososoxfan]

Getting line 3 going with Coyle and JDB to get some points if the top 2 lines aren't getting it done is key. That and not having stupid turnovers and finishing high quality chances.

 

[nolasoxfan]

F*** Tom WIlson, FTW.

 

[durandal1707]

Bruins are the better team. Keep mistakes to a minimum and win. It's that simple.

 

[tmracht]

Avoid retaliatory penalties and win. They are smoking the Caps 5v5, just play clean and beat them.

 

[locknload]

Stay out of the box, don't turn the puck over, don't let Tom Wilson brain someone. Keys to victory.

A bit late but shouldn't it be a big dish of Pasta and a side order of Fuck Tom Wilson?

I might have missed a surmise or actual diagnosis in one of these threads, but why has Pasta lost so much mojo, do we think? He’s back to his old semi-feckless turnover-machine days...

 

[joe dokes]

I am in DC for a college graduation and related festivities. I probably will miss much, if not all, of the game. I want to see sad faces walking around after dinner telling me the result.

 

[moretsyndrome]

The start time has torpedoed my productivity. I'm just running a four corners here that makes Dean Smith look like Paul Westhead.

Billy Jaffe:Hearing rumblings that Ilya Samsonov will be starting for Caps tonight. Last game for him was May 1. We’ll know for sure in a few mins when warmups happen here @tdgarden

 

[Ale Xander]

FTW

 

[TSC]

Let's go!!

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Love hearing the "Let's Go Bruins" chant

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Hearing the pronunciation of Samsonov’s name just makes me hate the Caps more.

 

[ifmanis5]

That could have gone a bit better but we do get a PP.

 

[Cotillion]

Oh look scrums at the Caps goalie again.

 

[durandal1707]

Would've loved that opportunity with any other line.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Wagner, smh

 

[durandal1707]

Would've loved that opportunity with any other line.

Good on the 4th line to draw a penalty at least.

 

[The Napkin]

First time in his life Ovechkin actually backchecks and he gets a penalty. Awesome.

 

[ifmanis5]

Oh man oh man.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Everything but a goal there.

 

[Haunted]

Test Samsonov early

 

[cshea]

Start the 2nd unit next time

 

[Cotillion]

You can't take that change... got lucky it didnt' hurt.

 

[durandal1707]

What was that change?

 

[ifmanis5]

Don't let him get confident.

Man you really miss the crowd for playoff hockey. This feels so wrong.

 

[durandal1707]

Caps flopping all over the ice on the slightest contact.

 

[tims4wins]

Don't let him get confident.

Man you really miss the crowd for playoff hockey. This feels so wrong.

Was worse in the bubble last year.

I really need the B’s to get through this round so we can hear the Garden at full capacity next round.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Damn

 

[cshea]

Can’t get into a penalty fest

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Bleh

 

[FelixMantilla]

Man, that's a tough call.

 

[durandal1707]

Weak call.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Dumb penalty

 

[cshea]

Fantastic kill

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Nice kill

 

[Investor 11]

Nice kill

 

[durandal1707]

Quality kill.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Wagner may have snuck that five-hole if it didn't hit the Dman's skate

 

[ifmanis5]

Too many men.
